Abstract (en)

[origin: US6616250B1] The invention relates to a method of controlling the performance of a motor vehicle in which the forces acting upon wheels and tires are detected by wheel force or tire sensors and are used as controlled variable(s) for an automotive servo-system, such as ABS, TCS, EMB etc. The variables are referred to determine and/or modulate the brake pressure in the wheel brakes of the wheels and/or the drive torque. The aim of the invention is to provide a method of controlling the performance of a motor vehicle which allows to optimize the influence on the movement of the vehicle. To this end, the working point and/or the operative range of the controlled variable(s) is adjusted using the detected wheel slippage.
